Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said Eduardo Romero of 28 Grand St. was arrested Monday on charges of sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

Molinelli said the young victim told a relative that she had engaged in sexual activity with Romero on several occasions over the last five months.

The Division of Child Protection and the Garfield Police Department were both notified, and the girl was interviewed by a detective from the Special Victims Unit at the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office in Paramus, Molinelli said. During that interview, he said, the victim confirmed what she had previously told her relative.

Romero was being held Tuesday at the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. He was scheduled to be arraigned on March 24.
